Must-listen for Bon Iver fans! Following in Asgeir's footsteps, this beautiful pop group from Iceland is making their world breakthrough! They're making their Japan debut!
"It's simple, acoustic, electronic, melodic, nostalgic yet new. And above all, it's beautiful. Their previous album, '0', was a fantastic album. With this one, you can hear the intention to go from '0' to 'infinity'. 'LOW ROAR' can no longer be categorized as 'indie.'" - Game creator Hideo Kojima
The song has already become a hot topic in Japan and the US after being used in the teaser video for the new game "Death Stranding" by world-renowned game creator Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear series, etc.)! The Japanese version includes the two songs used in the teaser, "I'll Keep Coming" and "Easy Way Out", as bonus tracks!
Low Roar, a beautiful pop unit based in Reykjavik, Iceland, is making their Japan debut with their third album! A veil of synths that shimmers like the aurora, cool electronics, soft tunes like chamber pop woven with acoustic guitars, pianos, trumpets, and flutes, and the clear high-tone vocals of frontman Ryan who spins melancholic and moving melodies... As soon as you start playing, a clear air blows in and the beautiful sound is like a starry sky spreading out before your eyes. It is a true successor to the lineage of Icelandic artists such as Sigur Ros and Asgeir, and is sure to gently heal the hearts of beautiful US indie SSW fans such as Bon Iver. The songs that quietly draw gradations and reach magnificent heights will make you shed tears of pure emotion just by listening to them...
